In memory of our late Siensi (Grand Master), Dr. Lo King Hui 盧慶輝,of the Philippine Kong Han Athletic Club, and of his dedication, devotion, passion, and loyalty in promoting and preserving the true heritage and tradition of ngo cho kun

Wu chu chuan (or ngo cho kun in the Fujian dialect) is a traditional, South Shaolin kung fu style. It can be classified as both external and internal – “external” referring to concentrated striking power (the principle of a one-strike kill), and “internal” referring to the breathing technique used to improve physical health (by stimulating and exercising internal organs).

Wu chu chuan, in the English language, is the Five Ancestors Fist.It is in honor of the best five known martial art styles at that time, which are: the white crane, for its intricate hand techniques; the monkey fist kung fu, for its mobility, agility, dexterity, and many evasive tactics; the Lohan, for its foot work and internal exercises; the Tai Cho, for its leg techniques (including scissor leg attacks and sweeping); and the Da Mo, for its breathing techniques (the basis of iron-body training and of regulating breathing to enhance both stamina and energy).

Wu chu chuan originated in the Chinese province of Fujian.It is widely practiced, is considered the pride of the Fujian people, and has its foundation in the South Shaolin temple (located in Quanzhou, China).

During the Ching dynasty, the temple was totally burned down because of the temple’s involvement in anti-Ching movements.

In 1980, thanks to the surviving wu chu chuan masters in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan and with the assistance and cooperation from the Government of China, wu chu chuan was reintroduced in China, epitomized with the rebuilding and reestablishment of the South Shaolin temple at its original site in Quanzhou, China.

In 1990, the International South Shaolin Wu Chu ChuanUnion was formed, the main agenda of which was and is to unite all South Shaolin Wu Chu Chuan kung fu families, as well as to promote and preserve the true essence of traditional kung fu.

At present, the South Shaolin temple monks at Quanzhou, China have adopted Wu Zu Quan as their main martial art style.
